Newlands Junior College is a vocational college located in Glasgow, Scotland. The college is primarily focused on providing education and skills to young people aged 14-16 who have become disillusioned with education in their previous school, and need another chance to obtain some work-based qualifications to help them when they leave school. Newlands Junior College is based on an industrial estate, and boasts of a range of high-quality facilities and a more relaxed work-like atmosphere than exists in most schools. The college was established by Scottish businessman Jim McColl, and is nominally an independent school, however all students receive a full scholarship to study so no fees are charged for attendance.

Values and Vision
Newlands Junior College works closely with a number of partner secondary schools in and around Glasgow, in order to identify which students are best suited for a place at the college. The curriculum is heavily weighted towards vocational subjects, and a small number of high-quality academic subjects available at National Awards levels 4 and higher. The vocational curriculum is offered in close co-operation with a number of external colleges and other partners. Finally, personal development is a key focus for the staff at Newlands Junior College, ensuring that students have the right temperament, work ethic and overall mindset to properly apply the skills they pick up at the college in the real world.
